Building High Scale Backend Systems

Challenges in software engineering growing with user base and number of requests to engineering system. We would like to kick off 2023 with a talk about scalable architecture and solutions for backend systems.

Talk Synopsis

When a company grows with customers, it faces bottlenecks and performance degradation due to non-extensible architecture, hacks, and long-lived tech debts. Sometimes even forcing us to adopt a system redesign for scaling further.

We will discuss the learnings of building a high-scale backend system by leveraging event-driven systems along with critical components & best practices for production readiness.

More specifically, practices like rollbacks, timeouts, circuit breakers, observability, independent microservices, and better reliable tools.
